Förlagets beskrivning
Alfred Doblin (1878-1957) was one of the great German-Jewish writers of the
20th century, a major figure in the German avant-garde before the First World
War and a leading intellectual during the Weimar Republic. Doblin greatly
influenced the history of the German novel: his best-known work, the
best-selling 1929 novel Berlin Alexanderplatz, has frequently been compared in
its use of internal monologue and literary montage to James Joyce's Ulysses and
John Dos Passos's Manhattan Transfer . Doblin's oeuvre is by no means limited
to novels, but in this genre, he offered a surprising variety of narrative
techniques, themes, structures, and outlooks. Doblin's impact on German writers
after the Second World War was considerable: Gunter Grass, for example,
acknowledged him as "my teacher." And yet, while Alexanderplatz continues to
fascinate the reading public, it has overshadowed the rest of Doblin's immense
oeuvre. This volume of carefully focused essays seeks to do justice to such
important texts as Doblin's early stories, his numerous other novels, his
political, philosophical, medical, autobiographical, and religious essays, his
experimental plays, and his writings on the new media of cinema and
radio.Contributors: Heidi Thomann Tewarson, David Dollenmayer, Neil H. Donahue,
